thrilled me -filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more',

A. it creates an anxious tone
B. it emphasizes the speakers friendliness
C. it defines an unknown idea
D. it introduces a new character
